wikipedia notes: Annie Oakley (born Phoebe Ann Mosey) August 13, 1860 – November 3, 1926) was American sharpshooter and exhibition shooter. Oakley's amazing talent and timely rise to fame[6] led to a starring role in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, which propelled her to become the first American female superstar.
Using a .22 caliber rifle at 90 feet (27 m), Oakley reputedly could split a playing card edge-on and put five or six more holes in it before it touched the ground.
